The Town of Swan River wants to remind residents that flushing or putting anything other than human waste and greywater down the drain is prohibited.
They say that large items like disposable diapers, clothing and towels have been making their way into the sewer system and are causing problems by jamming pumps and limiting their pumping capacity within their sewage lift stations.
They also want to remind residents never to dump hazardous materials like paint and solvents into the sewer system, since they could damage its piping, pumping and dumping zones.
According to the Town, it's important that people cooperate to avoid potentially costly or dangerous situations.
Anyone interested in learning more can call the Town Office at 204-734-4586.
